Nin-Sim Linkage Deadline: SERAP Gives FG 48-Hour Ultimatum To Unblock 72m Phone Lines - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Publisher (A.M)
April 11, 2022
SERAP asked President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Minister of
Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, and the Nigerian
Communications Commission, NCC, to immediately reverse the
apparently unlawful decision to block over 72 million active
telecommunication subscribers from making calls on their SIMs.
SERAP added that blocking people from making calls undermines their
ability to communicate freely, and associate with others and infringes
their rights to freedom of expression and family life, as well as socio-
economic rights.
SERAP stated that the judgment is inconsistent and incompatible with
the country’s international legal obligations to preserve, safeguard,
promote, and facilitate economic and social rights, despite the fact that it
will have a chilling impact on free expression of ideas and information.
It said that the decision goes against the principles of the rule of law and
democratic society.
It would be recalled that on Monday, April 4, 2022, the Federal
Government authorized telecommunication providers in the country to
prohibit all outgoing calls on unlinked lines.
Subscriber Identity Modules, SIMS, that have not yet been registered
and linked to the National Identification Number, NIN, by users are
referred to as unlinked lines.

SERAP also advised Buhari to send executive bills to the National Assembly to reform all laws, which are unreliable and incompatible with Nigerians’ rights to privacy, dignity and freedom.
The organisation noted that the interference entailed by unlawfully or arbitrarily accessing people’s personal details, is far-reaching and must be considered to be particularly serious. Interference with an individual’s right to privacy is not permissible if it is unlawful or arbitrary.
It would be recalled that last week that one year after the NIN-SIM policy came into force, the spate of the security challenges and fraud had festered, to which the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, had decried that no operative sought permission to access the NIN-SIM database or any other information in an effort to rescue a kidnapped victim, despite a blanket approval subsisting for security operatives. He had told reporters in Saudi Arabia, on the sidelines of the LEAP 2022 technology and exhibition conference, that some of the security institutions, based on Cybercrime law, are allowed to have access to the database without coming to the ministry or telecoms operators because that database allows for Lawful Intercept.

The NLC, in a statement by its President, Joe Ajaero, argued that the Federal Government was “seeking to impoverish the people further by taking steps that can only be described as robbing the people of Nigeria to pay and feed the Rich”.
Ajaero, said rather than reciprocate the goodwill of Nigerian workers, the Federal Government had “insisted on threading the path of dictatorship”.
The organisation in Nigeria recalled that the $800m already proposed before the government’s devaluation of the naira was worth about N400bn, but had risen to about N650bn post-devaluation.
The congress says the proposal to pay N8,000 to each of the so-called 12 million poorest Nigerian households for six months insults our collective intelligence and makes a mockery of our patience and abiding faith in social dialogue which the government may have alluded to albeit pretentiously.
According to the NLC, the further proposal to pay National Assembly members the sum of N70bn and the judiciary N36bn is “the most insensitive, reckless and brazen diversion of our collective patrimony into the pockets of public officers whose sworn responsibility it is to protect our nation’s treasury.
